  • In 2020, an artificial intelligence lab called DeepMind unveiled technology that could predict the shape of proteins.
  • Now, the lab shared the tool called AlphaFold.
  • Using this tool, the lab released predicted shapes for more than 350,000 proteins.
  • It includes all proteins expressed by the human genome.
  • The technology is not perfect.
  • But it can predict the shape of a protein with an accuracy that rivals physical experiments about 63% of the time.
